The coronavirus and wokeness were two novel pathogens. Our physical immune system didn’t know how to react to COVID, while our social immune system adapted slowly to the speed with which activists organized on social media.

In some ways, the advent of Artificial Intelligence clarifies our place in the educational equation. Let the machines do what’s mechanical—generating practice problems, flagging errors, grading the responses that are beyond discussion. That only clarifies our real responsibilities: drawing out the quiet student, asking the question nobody thought to ask, forging a community of mind and friendship from the struggles of a classroom.
